How exactly does a nuclear bomb work as well as how does it create radiation and destroy so much with such a little action?
In: 12
It’s not splitting one atom.
When you split one atom, it releases neutrons to split more atoms. Which release even more neutrons, which split even more atoms.
It can become exponential, and energy is released as you split more and more and more atoms, until the bomb breaks apart from the explosion.
